“For a number of years, I had been considering design changes to my custom home in Manotick. I was stuck because I had too many options and was unable to visualize the results. Jennifer McGahan was quickly able to explain what would work, and helped me make some long overdue decisions. Not only did she answer all my questions but she also proposed several changes that improved considerably on my ideas. To say the least I am very happy with the results and I am of the view that I received excellent value for her consultation.” Ross

Concept, Planning and Execution $ 175.00/hour

After your Initial Consultation, it will be time to get to work. We will handle all specifications and selections for your project. You won’t need to agonize over design choices – we know what works and what doesn’t. Your project may include the following:

“When we moved into our new home, I was completely overwhelmed. Jennifer helped me set priorities, develop a plan and make some easy changes that made a big difference.” Susan

Drawings $200 each

Every renovation starts with a drawing. These plans provide an accurate, clear picture of how the room will come together. From making sure all trades are working from the same set of drawings to ensuring proper flow and furniture placement, drawings are an extremely valuable tool for getting the design right before you start.
